A New Gold Standard

ASUS X79-DELUXE motherboard glisten with gold, representing the gold standard in quality, performance, and innovation for which ASUS is renowned. The metallic-gold heatsinks, dark grey and black expansion and DIMM slots are color-matched for a striking design that truly stands out from the motherboard crowd.

Absolute Performance

CPU Overclocking

Overclock with confidence - Over 4.8GHz performance !

ASUS X79-DELUXE elevates CPU overclocking stability to a whole new level: a new Intel® LGA2011 3.4GHz processor can be cranked confidently all the way up to 4.8GHz - and even beyond!. This truly incredible performance is possible thanks to precise, real-time power control from ASUS digital power design. By offering best-in-class efficiency while reducing wasteful voltage discrepancies, ASUS digital power design provides an extremely stable platform for your overclocking endeavors. This overclocking power can be unleashed via settings in the X79-DELUXE’s new UEFI BIOS or the brilliantly easy-to-use ASUS AI Suite 3. AI Suite 3 allows you to concentrate on fine-tuning your system for the best balance between performance, stability and efficiency in real time– adding to the premium overclocking experience delivered by X79-DELUXE.

DRAM Overclocking

8 DIMM design - X79 done right

Support for up to 64GB of system memory with an 8-DIMM design on ASUS X79 motherboards provides the capacity for users to make full use of modern 64-bit software, ideal for rendering detailed images or manipulating large files without the bottlenecks of conventional storage. X79-DELUXE is able to overclock all 8 DIMMs up to over 30 % better than previous X79 motherboards. It also allows users to set up big RAM disks and speed up frequently accessed programs, minimizing the impact of storage transfer delays while maximizing user benefit.
